Beyond Borders

The two topics highlighted in this volume entrepreneurship and cooperatives and education within these fields may be regarded as essentially disparate themes. However looking more closely it is apparent that these have some interesting intersections. The main focus relates to innovation and entrepreneurship among co-operatives the public sector and the private sector.This work is a product of the collaboration between Södertörn University in Stockholm Sweden and Moshi Co-operative University in Moshi Tanzania. In both countries we aim to understand how enterprises with different ownership forms and other kinds of state and private organizations contribute to economic growth or decline. The volume is an overview of research about entrepreneurship and co-operatives but also of education in these areas. The intention is to contribute to the promotion of research on these topics in both countries and enhance future collaboration between the two Universities.
